Verse 6

Sānkhya Yoga — The Yoga of Discernment

Nor do we know which is better for us—to conquer them or to be conquered by them. The sons of Dhritarashtra, whom if we killed we would not care to live, are standing before us on the battlefield.

Context & Meaning

Arjuna is confused about whether victory or defeat is better, as the enemies are his own relatives.
